Every autumn rain brings a chill, and in the second half of the night it turns into freezing rain.
When homeless people wander into the police station, the police on duty usually don't bother to care about them. But if they meet a kind-hearted police officer, they can even get a hot meal.
When I went downstairs in the morning, there was a layer of white frost on the edge of the flower bed, and the cold was bone-chilling.
Lei Ming wore her police uniform as neatly as in her promotional photos. Sheng Changfeng was not bad either, but walking behind her, he looked like a follower. The colleague from another place called Lei Ming the team leader. They had worked together before, and they were the ones who received Lei Ming when he was on a business trip to Fenghai City.
I was impressed by this young but capable female police officer.
Then she gave him a kettle and said to him in a typical southern coastal accent:
"Comrade, go get a kettle of hot water. We've been driving all night and are freezing to death."
Sheng Changfeng immediately went downstairs with the kettle. When he came back, he brought several servings of mutton soup to share with everyone.
Liang Peihe was originally planning to hold a meeting, but since Sheng Changfeng wasn't there, he put it on hold.
Several colleagues from other places ate voraciously. In fact, they passed by many restaurants along the way, but they came here on an empty stomach in order to catch the morning meeting here.
"Team Leader Sheng, I'm sorry, we thought Officer Lei was your master."
Sheng Changfeng smiled. He was a policeman recruited from the society and had never attended the police university. After he started working, he looked rather unfamiliar. Since he joined the public security brigade, he had been on field duty and seldom wore a police uniform, so he did not look much like a policeman.
Liang Peihe took the information to the provincial department. The atmosphere there was much more serious than that of the municipal bureau. However, the few young policemen he met in the corridor were only in their early thirties, but they were already department-level leaders.
Guo Shengli wiped the sweat off his forehead from running up and pressed the elevator button:
"If we had been assigned to the provincial government right after graduation, we would probably be deputy department heads by now."
Liang Peihe did not respond, Guo Shengli continued to talk:
"That's right. You've never been a fan of officials. But it's true. Although everyone's rank is very different, their salaries are not much different. These provincial civil servants don't earn as much as our city officials, and our city officials don't earn as much as those in the urban-rural fringe areas."
Liang Peihe carefully checked the information in his hand again. He never took Guo Shengli's words seriously. He opened the elevator door and walked out with big strides.
The materials in his hands are extremely important.
Nowadays, at the meeting table in the unit, the top leader sits in the middle, with the others spread out on both sides. This is convenient for taking photos and writing press releases. In such internal discussion meetings, people sit on both sides, with the leader sitting in the middle of one side. This reduces the sense of oppression and makes it easier for those below to offer suggestions.
The leader in charge of the case this term, the deputy director is named Zhang Shiyu, who looks like a kind man, white and plump, not very tall, not talkative, and seldom speaks harshly to his subordinates, but he is vigorous and resolute in doing things. Now that he is older and at a higher level, he sits in the office, staring at the big screen to monitor and give orders, but when he was young, he could carry a heavy sniper rifle, ambush in unexpected places, and kill a criminal hundreds of meters away with one shot, while the hostage in the criminal's arms, with a knife against the throat, would remain unharmed.
After taking up a leadership position, he was the director of the Office for Combating Organized Crime and Eliminating Evil. Someone used a bulldozer to demolish half of his house in the middle of the night, and bricks and cement slabs fell on his bed, but he was not scared. The next day, he contacted a contractor from another place to come and repair his house. He set up a tent opposite, and his wife and children still went to work and school. Someone drove a car to hit him to death, but he rode a motorcycle, handcuffed, and chased him across three blocks and handcuffed him back.
He cracked down on several gangs of evil forces, especially when high-interest loan platforms were prevalent. He faced the challenge head-on and smashed several loan sharking dens without caring about so-called personal relationships or local market conditions. No matter who asked him about it, he always said one thing: I only follow the rules. That's what the law is written about.
The people he dealt with were all those who dared to kill and rob, but when they heard Zhang Shiyu's name, they would be afraid and even hide away.
Led by Zhang Shiyu, we can actually see the province's attitude towards this case.
This made Liang Peihe and Guo Shengli feel excited.
Liang Peihe laid out all the information:
"At the beginning of the year, on February 13, we received a report from the public that this nursing home had received 800,000 yuan, but the elderly were still unable to move in."
"On February 25, we received another report from the public that the nursing home promised that the campus where people could live by the end of the year was still a wasteland."
"On March 15, we received information about a scam of nearly 100 million yuan on the Internet for the first time. Someone paid 100 million yuan, but when we verified it on site, we got a response that the store was not the same as the one advertised online."
…
Liang Peihe also pointed out:
"Fengyuanli Real Estate Co., Ltd. has marked hundreds of business scopes within its business license. Before the roof of the house was completed, it took the bank's escrow funds and invested in multiple projects, including new energy vehicle manufacturing, film and television, elderly care projects, and medical beauty projects... We must conduct a thorough investigation of these!"
The scope of the impact is so wide that it is no longer just a matter of knocking over a boat full of people with one pole, but rather knocking over half of the people on the river with one pole.
Zhang Shiyu looked serious and didn't express his opinion. Someone spoke up:
"Such an investigation will make the market lose confidence, and the data we get will definitely show that the real estate developer will be insolvent. If it really goes bankrupt, the purchase contract will become invalid, and no one will repay the mortgage. What will happen to the bank's bad debts?"
Guo Shengli wanted to leave a good impression on his superiors every time he came to the hall for a meeting, and he would never challenge Liang Peihe as openly as he did. But this time, before Liang Peihe even spoke, he couldn't help himself:
"Have you ever been to Jinxiu Huacheng? Have you seen the unfinished buildings there at night? Have you seen the photos of corpses taken by our criminal police and forensic doctors in the past? Those are real lives lost! Don't talk about probability events. This kind of probability event is just a string of numbers on paper, but when it happens to a family, it's a tragedy!
Banks have so many risk control managers who do not check the qualifications of developers when lending money, but instead let ordinary people do the checking.
So what is the point of these institutions?”
Guo Shengli was very excited when he said this, and he was almost about to say that they were a bunch of useless people who were paid to produce manure.
With Guo Shengli's opening statement, others immediately raised objections, especially those who were older but had not been promoted:
"How can you live and work in peace and contentment? It's been ten years, and you still haven't handed over the house. How can you live and work in peace and contentment?"
…
Then, the two sides started arguing.
These leaders were originally responsible for handling cases, and they dealt a lot with the grassroots and criminals, so they all had bad tempers. This conference room, which was not very big to begin with, now became like a powder keg and exploded in an instant.
If there is an unfinished building in your home, it is like a thorn stuck in your throat.
Zhang Shiyu raised his hand and asked everyone to be quiet and take a break before coming back to continue the meeting.
When Zhang Shiyu came out, Liang Peihe hurried over. Zhang Shiyu was quite reproachful:
"Why don't you try to persuade him?"
Liang Peihe obviously has some personal relationship with Zhang Shiyu, so he speaks more directly:
"Everyone is paid, and those in the archives office don't get any benefits at all. It's easy for me, as I was able to get a house or a collective housing. But what about my children? You will know if you ask them. Even though these colleagues are wearing police uniforms and are office leaders, who knows if the wedding houses they bought for their children are unfinished buildings, and they will be scolded by their wives when they go back home."
Zhang Shiyu pointed at Liang Peihe:
"You are really mean."
Leung Pui Wo Road;
"Even if they are civil servants in the capital's ministries, I know a few policemen in the capital, whose ranks are higher than mine, they earn about 300,000 yuan a year, at most. Do you think that a thirty-year-old man who has studied for more than ten years and got such a good job can be considered a glory to his family?
Parents have to sell their house in their hometown and use the money they have saved all their lives to give their children a down payment. All the major events in life, such as weddings and funerals, are borne by the parents.
Under such circumstances, if they buy an unfinished building, how can this family survive?"
Zhang Shiyu nodded:
"You're just too anxious!"
Liang Peihe understood that Zhang Shiyu would help him withstand all the pressure:
"When you were young, you were more anxious than I was!"
Zhang Shiyu nodded:
"That's true. It sounds good. A gentleman's revenge is never too late after ten years. But this ten years is the fastest speed for scholars in ancient times to pass the exam every three years. In fact, there is not that much patience.
If they just keep waiting and looking for the so-called right opportunity, these criminals will eventually run away.
The outflow of state-owned assets is a big deal! "
Obviously, Zhang Shiyu already had the idea before coming, and was just waiting for everyone to discuss and come up with a result.
But Liang Peihe knew very well that a leader like Zhang Shiyu would definitely push forward what he believed was the right thing to do, despite all the pressure.
This standard is the law, the Constitution, the Criminal Law, and the detailed rules for the enforcement of the public security police...
With Zhang Shiyu's support, this case of jumping from the building will not end so easily, but will be a new beginning.
When we came in for the meeting again, since everyone had already had an argument before, now they sat together and were in harmony again.
Zhang Shiyu made the final decision:
"Investigate. Even if there is no precedent for investigating this matter in the country, we will start first. Don't think that these revelations will affect the image of our city. When we turn the knife inward to examine ourselves, we are bold and decisive!"
Liang Peihe went to do Liang Peihe's things, and Zhou Liuyi went to do Zhou Liuyi's things. He drove a new pickup truck, loaded a truck with watermelons, and went to do business under a building.
The money for the new pickup truck was used to buy the remaining money in Sun Ming's card. Of course, this was all approved by the organization. After the case is concluded, the money should be collected into the national treasury, and not a penny will be less.
This pretentious prop was too expensive, and Liang Peihe was heartbroken. He repeatedly reminded Zhou Liuyi to take good care of it when opening it, so that he could get a better price for it when it was auctioned later.
Saturday is really speechless.
Do these civil servants working in the unit know nothing about the prices outside?
The car depreciated by 50,000 or 60,000 yuan when it landed, which was exactly the salary he earned from working overtime and staying up late for a whole year.
However, in order to save some tolls, he directly registered a freight APP online, applied for a driver, and left a message that he only drove green-passenger vehicles. The pickup truck's basket can carry three tons, so he could save six or seven hundred yuan in tolls along the way.
Liang Peihe was astonished:
"Fuck, is this even possible?"
He was stunned by the outrageous actions of the post-2000s. He had only seen criminal police on business trips staying in small hotels costing dozens of dollars and eating instant noodles to save money, but he had never seen anyone pulling a truck of watermelons to save on tolls.
Moreover, this time, I can make some money on Saturday and Monday.
After finishing the order on Saturday, I said to Liang Peihe in the video:
"If it's inconvenient for you to transfer money to me, I can immediately register as a food delivery driver and earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. I won't run around aimlessly. I will just keep an eye on the criminals' lairs and keep an eye on them like I'm clocking in."
Liang Peihe covered his face. The times have really changed. This new generation of people thinks completely differently from them.
Sheng Changfeng had a similar working model, working as an undercover salesman and becoming the top seller. My brother joined a pyramid scheme and ended up being a welfare benefit for the female pyramid scheme members...
He was a little confused about the world of young people.
However, now that it has been entrusted to Zhou Liuyi, he will no longer follow up on this matter. In his words, this is called decentralization.
Liang Peihe has a lot of difficult things on his hands now. In order to prevent anyone from escaping after hearing the news, he needs to investigate, talk to, and summon a lot of people.
He calculated that even if the case was the least serious, it would take three to four months to be transferred for sentencing.
I don’t know what kind of surprise Zhou Liuyi can bring him in the next three to four months.
In fact, the trace inspection team made an exciting new discovery. A new doctoral student in the trace inspection department of the Public Security University retrieved the previous files and calculated a key point of evidence:
Those are the footprints at the scene. Although this person was wearing large-size shoes, judging from the force analysis captured in the video, this person would not be too tall, at most 1.65 meters. Secondly, the big toe of his right foot is missing.
Even if it was twenty years ago, it was not a war era, and the disability inherited from the mother could not have been the missing thumb.
If time could go back, Liang Peihe would like to go back to 20 years ago, set up checkpoints at all highway intersections, and ask passers-by to take off their shoes one by one. He wants to see who is missing a toe on his right foot.
That person was one of the murderers at the crime scene.
Liang Peihe felt a little tired. Lei Ting's widow was desperately trying to salvage her husband in the gray-black water. She cried and begged her colleagues to save her husband.
This scene, in his mind, was as fresh as a memory even after twenty years.
He leaned in the back seat, closed his eyes but couldn't fall asleep. He went to the forensic center excitedly and found the man who was wearing a white coat, a blue shirt underneath, and a mask. You could see that he had acne on his face.
This talented doctor is named Fang Han, and he is 29 years old this year. When the shocking case happened 20 years ago, he was only nine years old and in the third grade. His mother would not let him watch the news for any longer, and told him to finish his meal quickly and do his homework.
It would have been great if these technologies had been available twenty years earlier.
When he finished his business on Saturday and came out, a van happened to block his pickup truck. This must not be tolerated.
Zhou Liuyi took the electric saw from the pickup truck and cut across the van, cutting the van in half. He pushed one half forward and the other half backward to make a path in the middle, and Zhou Liuyi drove out in a domineering manner.
It's quite rare to find someone who dares to do this.
People passing by and taking photos were more excited than seeing the monkeys in the zoo, and Saturday walked towards them.
Passersby thought Zhou Liuyi was going to fight, but unexpectedly Zhou Liuyi made an arrogant gesture and said to people:
"Make me look more handsome!"
An hour later, after Pi Sanjin finished playing against the landlord, he came out to drive his car. He stepped on the accelerator and the car spun around and overturned. He was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown out of the door. His mouth hit the door frame and his big gold teeth were almost knocked out. He was lying on his back with his four limbs facing the air. Because he was lame, he couldn't turn over for a long time. He looked like a big tortoise struggling around. It was the security guard at the door who saw him and rushed over to pull him up.
This really pissed Pi Sanjin off:
“Who did it!”
The car he used to commit crimes before was a stolen one, which he then sold directly to a suburban auto repair shop and earned more than a thousand yuan. However, this car was his own.
The reason why you have to drive your own car when playing cards is that if you lose, you can mortgage the car and run away on your own, without having to have your front teeth knocked out or your legs broken like when you were young.
Now someone has actually sawed his car into two pieces. Even if he sells it to a car repair shop, not only will the dealer not want it, they will also laugh at him.
Pi Sanjin was so angry that he called the police. It was a policeman who had dealt with him before. That policeman had been dealing with criminals for a long time and obviously had a bad temper:
"You called the police? What did you steal again? Do you want to turn yourself in? I'll call the detention center and reserve a seat for you near the window so you don't have to complain about the pain of arthritis because your legs can't get any sunlight. By the way, have you had your wisdom teeth extracted? I'm really impressed by you, you old fool. I've never seen anyone who deliberately stole something to save money on tooth extraction and was detained. Do you know how much those two teeth cost? Sixteen thousand. How come you didn't die of pain..."
Although detention centers are state-owned institutions, their funding is limited. If a suspect or detainee suddenly falls ill and their life is in danger, they have to pay to save his life.
So the police officer was very upset.
Who knows what Pi Sanjin did? It was just a toothache, but his mouth was swollen as high as a steamed bun and almost blocked his throat, so he had to go to the hospital as a last resort.
Thinking about the 1,600 yuan spent on such a person, the police officer must have felt extremely bad.
What was even more unacceptable was that the director of the detention center scolded him and kept bringing up old issues:
Last time you caught a drug dealer, he was in the late stage of AIDS, and the rescue cost us 7,000 yuan. The other time you caught a burglar, he had a heart attack and died in the middle of the night when he was sent to us. I went to my leader and got scolded all night, and I had to clean up his mess for half a year.
You see, I'm only in my early forties and I still want to make progress. Please give me a chance.
If you meet such a sick person next time, you should educate him and think of other ways. Don’t steal a five-yuan egg from the supermarket. I have to spend thousands of yuan on medical expenses here. I have never seen such a high reimbursement, whether it is employee medical insurance or the new rural cooperative medical care.
If it were half of the people, they would definitely be speechless and wish they could find a hole to crawl into.
But Pi Sanjin not only did not feel ashamed, he interrupted the policeman:
"Officer Lu, my car was sawed in half. I want to call the police!"
Lu Tianming responded:
"What?"
At this time, Pi Sanjin's mobile phone was pushing the latest video content nearby, which was Zhou Liuyi holding an electric saw and cutting down his car.
Zhou Liuyi in the video no longer looks like a policeman. He has a permed afro and dyed his hair flamingo color. He is holding a chainsaw and looks unapproachable. When someone wants to take a video, he stays away from them.
Pi Sanjin's eyes widened:
"Officer Lu, please wait a moment. I'll send it to you right now! I've lived for so many years and I've never seen such an arrogant person!"
Pi Sanjin actually wanted to say that even if he stole a car, he would only dare to do it secretly at night. Even if he wanted to beat someone up because he didn't like him, he would have to find a dark and windy place with no surveillance.
The sun was still shining brightly, and the police station was less than 600 meters away, yet they sawed his car into pieces. How arrogant!
Generally speaking, when someone reaches Pi Sanjin's level and encounters this kind of thing, he will say something harsh, like "If I find this guy, I will beat him to the ground and make him kneel in front of me and call me daddy."
But now, Pi Sanjin only dared to say:
"Officer Lu, please come quickly."
Lu Tianming clicked on the video nonchalantly, feeling overwhelmed and looking at Pi Sanjin even more displeased.
He had a thousand swear words in his mind.
Birds of a feather flock together. A fool’s friends are fools, and a fool’s enemies are still fools.
He has been a policeman for many years and has seen people pay 500 yuan to call a crane to tow away a car blocking the road, but he has never seen anyone directly split a blocking car in half.
This operation is simply too cool.
Lu Tianming put on his police uniform and equipment, ready for a police mission. Now that the weather was cold, he put on his police uniform liner, but his shoulder blades still hurt so much from the cold at night that he walked a little crooked, looking burly and strong.
He and his apprentice Xiao Jing had just driven the police car out of the police station when they met a man and a woman, a young man and woman, who looked quite pleasing to the eye, but Lu Tianming could tell at a glance that these two people were police officers.
The man was Sheng Changfeng and the woman was Lei Ming. When they saw Lu Tianming, they strode over.
"Hello, I'm Lei Ming from the Sanjiang City Anti-Fraud Center."
"Hello, I'm Sheng Changfeng from the Sanjiang City Anti-Fraud Center."
When Lu Tianming arrived at the scene, he looked at Pi Sanjin with disdain, almost avoiding him like the plague, but Pi Sanjin ran over as if he had seen a long-lost relative:
"Officer Lu, why did you come just now? It's been twenty minutes..."
Lu Tianming asked his apprentice behind him to turn on the law enforcement recorder, and then walked around the car. He was also quite puzzled that this little broken car could be sawed into two pieces.
The guy who does this job is also a talented person.
Lu Tianming asked a few questions:
"Who is this person?"
Pi Sanjin slapped his forehead:
"I don't know. I've never met this person. I'm a very law-abiding citizen who makes a living through hard work. I'm sure I'm much more hardworking than those of you who drink tea and read newspapers in government offices..."
Lu Tianming enlarged the photo on his phone and could see Zhou Liuyi's extremely arrogant expression, as if someone owed him hundreds of millions, and he directly confronted Pi Sanjin in the face:
"Take a closer look at this person. Do you know him? Did you steal his car and steal his girlfriend, so he is here to take revenge on you?"
Pi Sanjin was about to cry:
"Officer Lu, I swear to God, I have never known who this guy is. There are many rich women who want to support this young man. With my looks, how can I pry him away? You think too highly of me."
The young disciple behind him laughed when he heard this. Lu Tianming turned around and glared at his disciple:
"You have never seen the world, what's so funny about it?"
Lu Tianming and his apprentice filled out the form, asked Pi Sanjin to sign it, and then told him to inform him when there was any news.
Pi Sanjin was anxious:
"Officer Lu, you should be caught by this little bastard now."
Lu Tianming rolled down the car window:
"Put yourself in other people's shoes. When you stole the car, I didn't catch you at the scene. I caught you only when you were almost out of money, right?"
When Pi Sanjin heard this, he nodded:
"That's true, but..."
Lu Tianming had already left. He said to his young apprentice who was driving:
"This is just a dog-skin plaster. Don't be polite to such people. Moreover, there is not a single truth in their mouths. You must learn to distinguish the truth of the facts."
The car drove past a street and stopped at a police booth. Lu Tianming got out of the car and said to Lei Ming and Sheng Changfeng who were waiting there:
"Those two people definitely don't know each other, don't worry."
Lei Ming nodded and asked again;
"Officer Lu, do you have anything else to ask?"
There was a hint of shrewdness in Lu Tianming's simple smile:
"The cases at the Anti-Fraud Center are much higher level than those at the police station, so I'd better not ask. Otherwise, when the case reaches a later stage, I may have to stay at the Anti-Fraud Center for confidentiality.
But you guys can solve the case faster. In our community, four anti-fraud banners have been hung in the past half month, and the victims are either mothers or the elderly.
It's so miserable.
But I understand you, you only have a few days to stay at home throughout the year."
After chatting for a few words, Lu Tianming left with his apprentice. Someone in the jurisdiction reported that their dog was lost. It was a large dog and they were afraid that it would bite people if it rushed out, so they quickly called their colleagues to come over for reinforcement.
On Saturday, while driving down the street, Sheng Changfeng called him:
"Make sure the target is safe."
Zhou Liu smiled knowingly and said:
"knew."
Sheng Changfeng gave him a seat, and then his car turned around, changed the intersection, and drove steadily past.
At this time, Pi Sanjin snatched a shared bicycle that someone had just parked and rushed out. The man just went into the restaurant to pick up a meal, and when he came out he found that his bike was gone. He could only see the bike on his phone still moving, and he had to pay for it as long as it was still moving. He was so angry that his liver hurt.
Pi Sanjin came over right away. He was one of the underground recruiters of this scam. However, most of the recruitment now was done online, so it was more covert and it was more difficult to find the chain of evidence.
This thing is a hole at the bottom.
Seeing Pi Sanjin approaching, Zhou Liu stopped his car, kicked his car and sent it flying:
"Do you still recognize me?"
Pi Sanjin flew out, completely dazed, and sat on the ground with stars in his eyes. It took him a long time to come back to his senses:
"Who are you?"
